@DunkinDecaf I work with that guys sister ...also, if you have access to CraveTV (not sure if you can get it in the US) they made six full length episodes!

That's so cool!! My husband is going to flip when I tell him. I don't think we have CraveTV in the US, but maybe if I scour the internet I can find them.
Since this is a discussion board, for those who were curious, the right docs make it easier. Apparently our specialists team has a Zika doc, and they're getting the ball rolling for us. We would have tried harder if they said no because that's how we feel about this. Sure, it's a slim chance - but they didn't know Ebola would remain in eyes for months afterwards, and just back in February they found Zika in saliva and advised pregnant women against kissing in Brazil. Heck, some blamed it on pesticides even. DH threw up and had headaches - is that a viral symptom? Or a fluke? Regardless of how much support that Dallas nurse got for Ebola, we are not interested in taking this particular slim chance. Of course you got to pick your battles in life, and I'm not perfect in being cautious about everything, but my neurobiology hubby feels importantly on this and other baby issues, and what's important to him is important to me too. That's how we feel, if you gals don't, that's fine, to each their own as I said before. What I find amazing about parenting? There's more than one way. Helicopter parenting or not, whatever rocks your boat. I don't need to be right or perfect, but I want to be happy. What makes DH and me happy are having the right specialist team and having found the perfect private school for our baby and any future babies.
This thread is hilarious. I have about 8 mosquito bites currently...got them near Ottowa. Would be pissed if a bloody Braziliam mosquito made it that far. Trying not to scratch. Im quite a mosquito magnet actually. Its the blue eyes. I lived in Brazil for 5 years up until this past one and i dont think a week went by without getting a bite, even in the city. Was a little paranoid actually of dengue but meh. What can you do? Dengue is pretty frightening...one type causes you to internally bleed to death. The mosquitos that carry dengue are the same ones that carry zika...so if zika comes to the states whats stopping the dengue!!! My SIL is currently pregnant, in Sao Paulo. My MIL has a little farm-the primary wildlife they seem to raise there aside from stray dogs are mosquitos and black flies that draw blood. These brazilian mosquitos are different than ours...they are very painful. They pulse and sting. You dont want brazilian mosquitos in your neighborhood. Luckily they arent here! Woo! Anyway, my SIL has had many bites. She doesnt get tested after each bite. She does regular prenatal care and if she shows symptoms of anything they would probably test. I suppose this is because she lives in the south of the country and the epidemic is in the north. But im curious knottie, the next bite you get will you go back to be tested again? And your husband's next bite? You cant expect to go the whole summer without at least one more bite, and if you do give me the secrect! And good for you that your clinic has a back door into the CDC! That's some pretty good luck!
What's a Zika doc? Is that a special certification? Can I be a Zika nurse? That would sound cool.
Not buying it.

What a waste of money, resources, and time. THIS RIGHT HERE is part of the reason out Healthcare and insurance system is so effed up. People demanding tests that are ridiculously unnecessary. I honestly don't believe there really is a doc that would test this unless you lied and said he was out of the country and got bit.

Stuck in box
Yea me either. I call BS. Like I said before no sane doc would test this with the already limited resources we have unless you straight up lied. Florida governor declared a state of emergency for this JUST so they could get the funding to test this shit. It's not cheap
TinyAlligator born @ 36w, 3lb2oz, IUGR BabyFlamingo due 11/30/16
@TinyAlligatorWait, is Florida in a state of emergency? NO BODY TOLD ME. I GOT BIT LAST WEEK.
haha jk i don't give a shit.
What Florida should really be freaking out about is that someone let Nile crocodiles loose in the swamps. Now that is something to see a doctor about if you get bit by one. lol

Choose your own inflection, either way will work.
As @TinyAlligator said people like you, who demand useless testing (or hang out in ERs for a hangnail) are the reason the healthcare system struggles. I hope the CDC laughs in your face when it gets the sample.
@NavyBride93 I'd have to find the article but a while back when this whole thing started he preemptively did a medical state of emergency to get funding since there are a lot of people in S. Fl who do a lot of traveling to those regions supposedly. As for the Nile crocs, I hear that's another story that's been sensationalized by the media and it's not as bad as it seems. Still freaky though.
TinyAlligator born @ 36w, 3lb2oz, IUGR BabyFlamingo due 11/30/16
@TinyAlligator haha Yeah that was kinda a joke too. I'm in north Florida and there have only been three nile crocs discovered in south FL so I'm not actually concerned.
I'm sorry I'm just trying to find out the reason you stalked posts over a week old on a bmb that isn't yours to screen shot them...
creeps
also not sure the relevance. making an elitest private group and excluding half the bmb is pretty snobby...
You're not the only person who participates on two bmbs. I doubt she was stalking, just because you say something on a different board doesn't mean people here won't read it.
TinyAlligator born @ 36w, 3lb2oz, IUGR BabyFlamingo due 11/30/16
And it's not elitest it's to have normal conversations without crazy Zika baby people and to keep people who wish ill upon us away from us and our unborn babies

So, bringing up posts on another BMB that isn't yours to be an armchair critic about is a good reason? It's the SS that makes it tacky. Gotcha.
Also, it's rather amazing that a group of over 100 are all magically elitist snobs due in November and not October, right? There couldn't possibly have been a good excuse that you just weren't around for. Mmk.
Um, first what was he thinking wearing just shorts and a polo? Hazmat suits ONLY when leaving my house. But you know, to each their own I guess. As long as everyone knows that my way is better. Crap, GTG, my kid just fell in the Nile Croc exhibit at the zoo.
